Alejandro Bonazzola: Club left neglected by management | OneFootball

Alejandro Bonazzola, 3rd Vice President of Colón, spoke at midday on LA DOCE on Radio GOL 96.7 about various topics concerning the institution. He also detailed the management he is carrying out in Buenos Aires and his relationship with the AFA.

Intense Start to Management at Colón

Dr. Alejandro Bonazzola described his first weeks in the leadership of Club Colón as “extremely intense, with a lot of management work.” Taking over the club without a long transition between the elections and assuming office has been a challenge, in addition to “the extremely urgent problems we had to address and that we are resolving.” The state of the club and the previous management

Bonazzola did not hesitate to describe the situation he found, stating: “we found a club, which I personally would almost describe as being in a state of abandonment in terms of management.” He criticized the previous administration, mentioning “many mistakes that are evident in the signings that were made, in the fine print of the contracts, contracts in dollars, truly inadmissible things, a situation that even seemed like disinterest.”

Financial Management and Debts

Regarding the difficult financial situation, which included “the number of checks issued,” the board decided to “honor the commitments made.” However, this has not prevented renegotiation: “we have rescheduled some deadlines to give us the flexibility to meet all our obligations, but to this day we have not had a single check rejected in the club’s administration.”

Priorities and Objectives

The management’s priorities quickly focused on institutional normalization. Bonazzola outlined the steps to be taken: “first was to regularize the squad’s payroll, we are resolving the issue of the ban, and from there, the goal is to build a competitive squad.” The main objective is clear and demanded by the fans: “we all know what Colón’s objective is and what the people demand from Colón.”

The Primera Nacional Draw

Regarding participation in the Primera Nacional draw, he highlighted the atmosphere and the club’s perception: “an environment of great camaraderie among the directors, a lot of solidarity,” and that “Colón stands out as a club in the context of the Primera Nacional League, it is a very important club, everyone wants to be close to Colón, everyone talks about Colón.”

Future and Call for Unity

Looking to the future, the vice president was optimistic, though cautious: “I believe that with good management and making the adjustments we need to make and being smart... we will have a rather uphill first 6 months, but we will get through it.”

His final message to the fans was a call for unity: “The wish is that we are all together, that we are aligned with the objective that we all want, and that we all try to push in that direction, and I believe good things will happen.”
